Jewel Link Returns on Nintendo DS™

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – (January 13, 2012) – Maximum
Family Games (MFG) today announced the February 07, 2012 release of
Mountains of Madness, the latest game in the Jewel Link
Chronicles.
Mountains of Madness brings back all new Match-3 games,
where players must rid boards of all jewels by matching three or
more of a kind. The game also features a number of Seek & Find
scenes that must be solved in order to progress through the
story.

“Strategy and puzzle games are hugely popular right
now,” said Len Ciciretto, president of MFG. “What makes
Jewel Link so unique is the integration of a creative
storyline, which
Mountains of Madness provides alongside the Match-3 jewel
boards.”

Within
Jewel Link Chronicles: Mountains of Madness, players will
attempt to decipher a mystery surrounding an ancient myth believed
to have taken place upon a snowy mountain. As each puzzle is
correctly solved, new clues are released to help advance
gameplay.

Additional game features include specialty tools like the
Shuffle and Cyclone keys, which help add even more difficulty to
each jewel board.
Jewel Link: Mountains of Madness includes over 1,000 items
to be discovered and extra tools and power-ups to help players
resolve the predicament they find themselves in upon the
mountain.

“Placing the classic Match-3 puzzles in the center of a
seemingly inexplicable mystery makes the game incredibly
enjoyable,” said Ciciretto. “Players will find
themselves solving puzzles faster to get to the bottom of the
enigma.”

Developed by cerasus.media,
Jewel Link Chronicles: Mountains of Madness is rated E 10+
by the ESRB, and suggested for players aged ten and up. Available
exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ family of hand-held systems,
Jewel Link: Mountains of Madness arrives February 07,
2012, at a suggested retail price of $19.99.
